US Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao has resigned. He is the first member of the Trump administration to resign after Wednesday’s attack on Capitol Hill, over which Chao expressed “deep concern.” The cancellation will take effect on Monday, writes MTI.
Yesterday, our country witnessed a traumatic and completely avoidable event when supporters of the president besieged the Capitol building after speaking at a rally (Donald Trump).
– read in Elaine Chao’s statement. Added:
I’m sure even you and I were deeply shocked by the incident and I can’t help it.
Elaine Chao said her ministry will continue to work with Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, nominated by President-elect Joe Biden to head the portfolio. The minister was a member of the Trump administration from the beginning and served as Secretary of Labor during the presidency of George W. Bush (2001-2009).
Mitch McConnell, leader of the Senate Republican Party, called the rebellion a “failed rebellion” and condemned what happened on Capitol Hill, and distanced himself from President Donald Trump’s efforts to change the outcome of the November elections.
On Wednesday night, hundreds of Donald Trump supporters besieged the Capitol, where Congress and the Senate held a joint meeting to authenticate the electoral votes sold to President-elect Joe Biden. The protesters were pulled from the building with the help of the National Guard, killing four people in the clash. Trump had previously given a speech to his followers.
